Ghent, Belgium
Ghent delivers all the medieval charm of Bruges with the energy of a living, working city. Three towers punctuate the skyline — Sint-Baafs Cathedral (home to Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece), the Belfry, and Sint-Niklaas Church — and the view of all three aligned from Sint-Michielsbrug is one of Belgium's finest. The Graslei and Korenlei, twin medieval quays along the Leie River, bustle with waterside terraces. The Patershol neighborhood is a tangle of atmospheric lanes with excellent restaurants. Ghent has Belgium's largest pedestrian zone, making it a joy to walk, and the street art scene, student nightlife, and Sunday Groentenmarkt add layers of contemporary life to the medieval setting.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided Ghent walking tour with audio narration. Use it to explore Sint-Baafs Cathedral and the Ghent Altarpiece, Gravensteen Castle, Graslei and Korenlei quays, plus hidden gems like Patershol and STAM City Museum without booking a group tour.
